[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're exaggerating. Wellness programs often need to take blood to establish baseline measurements like on cholesterol, a1c, blood glucose. Wellness programs were shut down because of the POSSIBILITY that genetic information could be obtained. It was never the intent of wellness programs to collect genetic info. Costs need to be controlled, especially for self insureds, and wellness programs were helping make workforces healthier, decreasing absenteeism, and decreasing overall health costs by 5-15% depending on the quality of the program and corporate participation. It is an example of throwing the baby out with the bath water.[/quote] Please explain how it's an exaggeration. Many sources are reporting that this bill would allow employers to require genetic information, or impose large fines on employees. https://www.statnews.com/2017/03/10/workplace-wellness-genetic-testing/ [/quote]
